FINN: Lead Frontend Engineer

Headquarters: Singapore URL: https://www.finn-app.com/ Are you ready to shape the financial future of a rapidly growing fintech that’s transforming lives across Southeast Asia and beyond? We’re not your typical company - we’re a rocketship! At FINN , established in 2022, by experienced serial founders - we’re on a mission to transform financial well-being for underbanked employees. Our product provides early wage access, financial education, budgeting tools, part-time job opportunities, and micro-insurances. We've hit product-market fit with explosive growth during the past 12 months. We need a true Frontend Lead who stays deep in the code but also guides the frontend team (currently 2–3 devs, growing). This is a heavily hands-on role (80–90% coding) with light people leadership (1:1s, code-review ownership, tech direction, mentoring). If you enjoy both building pixel-perfect features yourself and helping others level up, this is for you. Future growth into Head of Frontend is realistic for the right person. What You’ll Own • Own the entire frontend codebase (Angular 17+, TypeScript, Ionic/Capacitor, Firebase) • Ship our native Android app via Capacitor (and add iOS down the road) • Turn Figma designs into responsive, performant, pixel-perfect UIs • Architect reusable components and maintain a clean, scalable codebase • Drive performance optimization (rendering, lazy loading, bundle size, API efficiency) • Set up and maintain testing strategy (unit with Jest, e2e with Playwright/Cypress) • Run feature-flag and A/B testing flows • Lead code reviews and enforce best practices • Run weekly 1:1s, help unblock the team, and keep frontend velocity high • Collaborate directly with backend, product, and design on a daily basis • Keep us up to date with modern Angular/Ionic ecosystem practices What You Bring • 6+ years frontend development, at least 3–4 years deep with modern Angular working on high-traffic consumer platforms. • Experience in cross-platform frameworks - ideally Capacitor/Ionic. • Strong TypeScript, RxJS, NgRx (or similar state management) • Excellent feel for product & design – you can open Figma, spot inconsistencies, and implement pixel-perfect UIs without hand-holding • Performance optimization experience (Lighthouse 95+, bundle analysis, lazy loading, memoization, etc.) • Testing discipline (Jest + Testing Library, Playwright/Cypress) • Experience mentoring or technically leading small frontend teams (formal or informal) • Fluent English and strong communication skills • Reliable internet & hardware, able to work ≥35h/week with decent overlap with UTC+8 (Singapore time) Nice-to-Have • Proven track record shipping production Ionic/Capacitor apps to App Store & Play Store • Previous work with financial services APIs or regulated environments • Firebase expertise (Auth, Firestore, Cloud Functions, Hosting) • Lottie / advanced animations • CI/CD with GitHub Actions or similar • Playwright for component & e2e testing • Experience with Tailwind, Storybook, or Chromatic Why You’ll Love It Here • Real ownership – you will literally shape the entire product experience • No corporate nonsense, fast decision making • Competitive salary + meaningful equity (early stage package) • Fully remote, flexible hours (as long as you have good overlap with Asia timezones) • Small, high-caliber team that values clean code and shipping fast If you live and breathe Angular/Ionic, care deeply about product and UX, and want to lead while staying hands-on, let’s talk.
